ChatGPT Plus user burns 4.2B tokens worth ~$460 in 30 days, hits weekly caps fast

A Reddit user details why ChatGPT Plus feels "dead" for agentic coding: a Terra/Sol/Luna orchestrator stack can't finish a mid-complexity session. Their dashboard shows 4.23B tokens ($460 API-equivalent) over 30 days — gpt-6.1-sol alone was 1.4B tokens ($320) — yet weekly caps hit after 600M tokens ($30 equivalent), with 5-hour windows granting roughly $10 of usage. Alternatives look far better: two OpenCode Go subs yield $200 of DeepSeek v4.1 Flash, and Mistral Vibe's $15 plan gives $300 of allowance with no quota windows. Conclusion: lowest quotas, not the best models — little reason to stay subscribed.
